SUMMARY:Through Fish Eyes
DESCRIPTION:This event is FREE and open to the public. \nTHROUGH FISH EYES: A DANCE PRODUCTION THAT COMBINES ART\, SCIENCE\, AND A CALL TO ACTION \n“Through Fish Eyes” is a unique performance that utilizes dance to create awareness of and evoke empathy in audiences about our dwindling marine ecosystems. This art-science-dance work follows the relationship between mankind and the ocean\, starting at a time when man lived in harmony with nature and ending with the current fragmented world. It brings a voice to water which is all around us in so many forms. The once abundant and thriving ocean has been ravaged by humans. The relationship between man and water is no longer sacred and the damage is done. Humanity is the hand that has been destroyed\, but can it now be the hand of change? \nThis work was initially conceptualized by Kasi Aysola & Madhvi Venkatesh. Research and fieldwork was done at the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns\, Australia. The creative development of this piece has been funded by the National Academies Keck Futures Initiative\, The Boston Foundation\, and the Boston Cultural Council. \n” \nThrough Fish Eyes’ cannot be classified merely as a Bharatanatyam piece – though it has fast-paced rhythmic sections drawn from the art form’s toolkit. It cannot be classified as a Nature drama – though it has marvelous depictions of marine life. It cannot be classified as romantic yearning for the past – though it portrays the idyllic times of yore. At best\, ‘Through Fish Eyes’ can be considered a Call to Arms. It is a devastating depiction of the present and an urgent beseeching to imagine new futures.” – Aditya Venkataraman\, Narthaki.com \n“Transported to a faraway place…dynamic music\, intricate movements\, percussive detailed footwork impressed a story that was well thought out and executed” -Raquel Lake\, Dance Metro DC \nThis project has been funded by the National Academies Keck Futures Initiative\, The Boston Foundation’s Live Arts Boston program\, and the Boston Cultural Council. Prakriti Dance uses the vocabulary of Indian dance to narrate a story that is so relevant to the world today. \n“Through Fish Eyes” has been choreographed by Kasi Aysola\, and conceptualized by Kasi Aysola & Madhvi Venkatesh.\n\nDancers:\nKasi Aysola\nArchana Raja\nMadhuvanti Sundararajan\nHarini Nilakantan\nSangeeta Chettia\nKavisha Prajapathi \n
